Abstract

Quantitative analyses are necessary to find a safe passage of natural gas (NG) and natural gas liquids (NGL) pipelines. The paper is presenting the details of analyses and determination of safe zones around the gas pipelines. The methodology is a planning tool for determining the safe passages for gas pipelines. The methodologies are presented with examples. The necessary tools are also presented for these analyses.
